Getting to Cedarwood Apartments

Cedarwood is located right in the top of the village with excellent access from the home trails in winter and it is right on the street with plenty of parking in the summer.

The streets are covered in snow in winter so access around the village is on skis or boards, on foot (in appropriate footwear), or in an Accommodation Transfer Service (ATS) tracked vehicle or Village Shuttle. Cars cannot drive within the village in winter and need to be parked in the overnight parking areas. A resort entry fee applies to overnight parking within the resort.

At the top end of Schuss Street we are only 200 metres from the Eagle chairlift and only 30 metres of this distance is along the roads traveled by the oversnow taxis. This means that there is no need to worry about getting in the way of these machines and also less traffic means the snow lasts a little longer on the rest of the short trip downhill to the chair. The “Summit” chairlift is only a little further than the Eagle chairlift and is the one that operates at various times through the summer for mountain bike and walkers access to the top of the hills and some of our mountain bike trails.

With many bars and restaurants close by to chose from it is easy to head out for a coffee or for dining or simply to pop down to the licensed supermarket for supplies. In summer not all food and beverage operators are open however there are still plenty of options available or you can dine in and cook at home in our self contained apartments.

With the “aqueduct” directly behind us it is simple to follow it out to the “Nordic Bowl” if you wish to do some cross country skiing or in summer take a ride, walk or run out to the dam on this relatively flat trail. The aqueduct is also the link trail for our extensive network of mountain bike trails which means Cedarwood is the perfect location for Mountain bikers.

We have natural bush surroundings on 3 of the 4 sides of the building and it is common to see wildlife and bird all around us. After the snow has melted you can see that we are right next door to the “Cedarwood Bog” which is an example of the bogs that are native to this area and play a huge role in water quality and clarity in the village. They are the reason that we have some of the most pure water in Australia running from our taps for you to drink!

Getting to Falls Creek – there are a number of ways to get to Falls Creek;

By Car or Motor Bike

From Sydney head via the Hume Highway to Wodonga where you take the Tallangatta exit then follow towards Tallangatta until you reach the Kiewa Valley Highway (Mount Beauty exit). Follow the KVHwy to Mount Beauty . Fill up with fuel here as it is the last fuel stop and dont forget to get “Alpine Diesel” if you are driving a Diesel fuelled vehicle). Follow the signs to Falls Creek from Mount Beauty and in 30kms you will have reached our lovely village. In winter you will unload your car at the ATS terminal and enjoy the ride up to Cedarwood in these unique tracked vehicles over our snow covered streets. In summer you can drive right to our door and park on the street out front.

From Melbourne head north via the Hume Highway and just past the McDonalds/BP service centre at Glenrowan you will take the “Snow Road” thorugh Milawa to Myrtleford. Follow the signs from Myrtleford directly to Mount Beauty (not via Bright as this adds at least 30 mins to your trip). Fill up with fuel here as it is the last fuel stop and dont forget to get “Alpine Diesel” if you are driving a Diesel fuelled vehicle). Follow the signs to Falls Creek from Mount Beauty and in 30kms you will have reached our lovely village. In winter you will unload your car at the ATS terminal and enjoy the ride up to Cedarwood in these unique tracked vehicles over our snow covered streets. In summer you can drive right to our door and part on the street out front.

If you bring your own vehicle into the resort in winter you will have to pay the resort entry/parking fee which is a per vehicle per night charge. Rate and information on this are available on www.fallscreek.com.au There is no resort entry/parking fee in summer as the bulk of this revenue funds snow clearing of the main road and Ski Patrol which are only available in winter.

Dont want to drive all the way to Falls Creek? then why not park in Mount Beauty and catch one of the coach services up the mountain so that you can take in the lovely views and avoid the parking fees, fitting snow chains and the stress of the winding road. Or perhaps you might rather catching the Hellicopter service?

Both of the local Coach services pick up in Mount Beauty and can advise on where you can park for the duration of your visit to Falls Creek, and so too can the hellicopter service.
